Nature
Sable Mountain is a 5,994-foot summit in Alaska’s Denali National Park and Preserve, rising at Sable Pass near mile 40 of the Park Road. The road crosses its southern slope, making it one of the park interior’s more accessible mountains. Though moderate by Alaska Range standards, it stands out for steep local relief, with the summit climbing about 2,000 feet above Tattler Creek in a single mile. Its waters drain west to the Toklat River and east to the Teklanika River. The name was in use by 1916 and was later officially adopted, and the mountain’s tundra climate brings severe winters and mild summers.
